Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 27, 1919.

Application led August 10, 1918. Serial No. 249,313.

T0 all whom t may concern.'

Be it known that I, F RIEDRIGH SCHLENKER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Fredonia, in the county of Logan and State of North Dakota, have invented a new and useful Combination Article, of which the following is a specification.

The device forming the subject matter of this application is a combination article, capable of many uses, but adapted primarily for the use of cream buyers and including a pencil holder, a pad, a calendar, and means whereby slips of paper from the pad may be held in a Vconvenient place.

The invention aimsto provide a slip-hold ing hook of novel form, which cooperates in a novel way with the pad, and generally, to improve and to enhance the utility of devices of that type to which the present invention appertains. Y

With the above and other objects in View, which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that, within the scope of what'is claimed, changes in the precise embodiment ofthe vinvention shown can be made without departingY from the spirit of the invention.

In the accompanying drawings Figure l shows in front elevation, a device constructed in accordance with theV invention; Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section taken on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1; and Fig. 3 is a perspective view showing the upper end of the hook.

In carrying out the present invention there is provided a base 1, which may be in the form of a board, supplied at its Vupper end with a hole 2, so that the base may be hung up. The numeral 3 marks a supporting plate, preferably made of metal, and united with the base 1 by means of securing devices 4 and 5. The supporting plate 3 is equipped at its lower end with a reduced neck 6 carrying forwardly presented prongs 7 extended through a pad 8 and clenched down on the pad as shown at 12. The pad 8 embodies any desired number of leaves 9, certain of which are provided at their upper ends with a calendar 10, the leaves being perforated as shown at 11, below the calendar. The leaves of the pad may be marked oif in any desired'way, depending on the use to which the structure is to be put. If desired, the pad may consist of 52 leaves 9, 12 of which are marked with monthly calendars. The supporting plate 3 is provided with lateral extensions 14 having resilient forwardly presented grips 15 on their upper and lower edges. The ends of the extensions 14C are extended forwardly to form stops 16. A lead pencil (not shown) may be placed in the grips 15, and the stops 16 prevent the lead pencil from sliding rearwardly. Owing to the presence of the stops 16, the pencil is always held in such a position that it may be. removed readily from the grips 15. The invention comprises a hook including an arm 17 merging into a loop 18, the loop 18 being extended to form an arm 19 disposed parallel to the arm 17. Y The arm 19 is extended to form a curved bill 20, the bill and the loop lying approximately in the Asame plane. Arms 17 and 19 are extended laterally intermediate their ends, to form an eye 21 which receives the securing device A. Thus, the Y Y hook is assembled with the supporting `plate 3 in such a way that it can be swung parallel to the plate.

It is possible to rotate the hook on the securing device f1, untilthe bill 20 of the hook extends downwardly as shown in dotted line in Fig. 2, and overhangs the leaves of the pad 8. When any leaf is stripped od the pad, the leaf will be engaged immediately by the bill 20. In this way, the leaves of the pad=may be mounted readily on the bill 20. The hook may be rotated on the securing device 4, so that the bill of the hook extends upwardly, as indicated in Fig. 2, under which circumstances, the detached leaves will be held securely on the hook. The loop or projection 18 exercises two functions., First, it aids in holding the slips on the hook, and, secondly, affords a convenient means whereby the hook may be rotated on the securing device A from the dotted line position of Fig. 2 to the solid line position of that figure, or from the solid line position into the dotted line position.

Having thus described the invention, what is'claimed is Y In a device of the class described, a sup my own, I have hereto affixed my signature port; a pad cargiedlbythe lower end of the in the presence of two witnesses. sup ort; a hoo ino uc in a bill; and means x w forpmounting the hook (In the support for FRIEDRIQH SLHLENKER' 5 rotation, whereby the bill may be extended Witnesses: l

downwardly to overhang the pad. A CHRIST STOLF,

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as WM. JANS.
